Don’t squander time working deceitfully!

  • “He who deals with a lazy hand becomes poor; but the hand of the hard worker makes rich.” (Pro 10:4).

What does it mean to work with a “slack” or “lazy” hand? This is the way that many people work: just concerning about money. They lean to do the things like robots: only to fulfill their obligations. It is not in vain that Jesus said:

  • “So likewise you, when you shall have done all the things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants, for we have done what we ought to do.” (Luk 17:10).
Who only do their obligations don’t consider:
  • using their work to glorify the Creator;
  • making friends with people around them;
  • amass more ken, experience and wisdom in order to be, in Christ, light in this world (Dan 12:3; Matthew 5:14-16; Phil 2:14,15);
  • acquiring patience and perseverance facing the challenges.

On the other hand, who is diligent is already prompt and with alacrity to open their door when Christ will come to use them (Luke 12:35-38). Every defiance is an opportunity to receive the well present succor of Jesus (Psalm 46:1) so that they can be used to solace those who are undergoing some tribulation and aren’t being able to overcome this (2Cor 1:3-5; 1Peter 5:8,9).

So, have a good day being ready to sow the precious seed (Psalm 126:5,6) amid the misfortunes and, thus, save many precious souls with the grace and mercy found in the moments of prayers (Hebrews 4:16).
